[0032] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, understandable and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be practiced in a variety of ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, so the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a linkage integrated camera 100, which comprises a bracket 1, an array camera 2 and a gimbal camera 3. The bracket 1 is a box structure with an open front wall, the left and right two side walls of the bracket 1 are provided with first bracket connecting parts 11 for mounting the array camera 2, the lower wall is provided with a second bracket connecting part 12 for mounting the gimbal camera 3, and the rear wall and / or the upper wall is provided with a bracket mounting part 13 for mounting the bracket 1 on an external camera mounting position, so as to integrally mount the array camera and the gimbal camera integrated on the bracket on the same mounting position (such as a stand or a hoisting arm), thereby simplifying the installation process.

[0034] The array camera 2 comprises a shell and a multi-lens assembly arranged in the internal accommodating cavity of the shell, the shooting angles of the lenses are different, each lens can shoot a local image, and then an image splicing algorithm is used to splice and fuse the local images to obtain a fused image with a larger field of view. The specific structure of the array camera 2 is not limited in the embodiment, and the first connecting part 21 can be arranged on the outer side wall of the array camera 2 based on the existing array camera structure, and then connected with the side wall of the bracket 1, so that the array camera 2 can be installed in the internal space of the bracket 1 at a certain pitch angle. It should be noted that the array camera 2 can be entirely accommodated in the internal space of the bracket, and the lenses are directed to the open front wall of the bracket, or the array camera 2 can be partially accommodated in the internal space of the bracket, and part (such as one end of the lens) is protruded from the open front wall, so that the lens is not blocked.

[0035] In one implementation, the first connecting part 21 can be provided with a plurality of threaded holes distributed in a ring shape, the first bracket connecting part 11 can be provided with mounting holes corresponding to the threaded holes, and the first connecting assembly 22 can comprise fasteners such as screws, the screws pass through the mounting holes and are screwed with the threaded holes to lock and connect the bracket 1 and the array camera 2. The ring-shaped distributed mounting holes facilitate adjusting the pitch angle of the array camera during installation.

[0036] In another implementation, since the side wall of the array camera 2 can be recessed relative to the front wall and the rear wall, the side wall of the array camera 2 and the side wall of the bracket 1 can be connected through a connecting disc. As shown in the figure, the first connecting assembly 22 can include a connecting disc 221, a first fastener (such as a first screw 222), and a second fastener (such as a second screw 223). The connecting disc 221 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes and second mounting holes. The first connecting portion 21 can be provided with threaded holes matched with the first mounting holes, and the first bracket connecting portion 11 can be provided with third mounting holes 111 corresponding to the second mounting holes. By screwing the first screw 222 through the first mounting hole and the threaded hole on the first connecting portion 21, one side of the connecting disc 221 is locked and abuts against the first connecting portion 21. By screwing the second screw 223 through the third mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole on the connecting disc 221, the other side of the connecting disc 221 is locked and abuts against the first bracket connecting portion 11.

[0037] In the implementation, the second mounting holes and the third mounting holes 111 are circular holes, and the number of the second mounting holes is the same as that of the third mounting holes 111. The more the number, the more precise the adjustable pitch angle. In another implementation, as shown in the figure, the third mounting holes 111 can be arc-shaped long holes, and the number of the third mounting holes 111 can be less than that of the second mounting holes. One third mounting hole 111 can be paired with one or more second mounting holes. In this way, the array camera 2 can be adjusted infinitely and precisely within a certain pitch angle.

[0038] Further, the first bracket connecting portion 11 is also provided with a mounting guide slot 112 and a rotating shaft slot 113. One end of the mounting guide slot 112 extends to the front end opening of the side wall of the bracket, and the other end communicates with the rotating shaft slot 113. The side of the connecting disc 221 facing the first bracket connecting portion 11 is protrudingly provided with a rotating shaft 2211. The outer diameter of the rotating shaft 2211 is smaller than the width of the mounting guide slot 112 and smaller than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft slot 113, so that it can extend into the mounting guide slot 112 from the front end opening of the side wall of the bracket and slide along the mounting guide slot 112 into the rotating shaft slot 113. Through the arrangement of the rotating shaft 2211, the mounting guide slot 112, and the rotating shaft slot 113, the array camera 2 can be pre-hung on the side wall of the bracket 1 through the rotating shaft 2211 and the rotating shaft slot 113 before being fastened and installed by using the screw, so as to improve the convenience of installation.

[0039] Further, the upper edge of the rotation shaft slot 113 is not lower than the upper edge of the mounting guide slot 112, and the lower edge of the rotation shaft slot 113 is lower than the lower edge of the mounting guide slot 112, that is, the height of the rotation shaft slot 113 in the up-down direction is greater than the width of the mounting guide slot 112 in the up-down direction. Specifically, the rotation shaft slot 113 can be a long circular hole structure. Thus, when the array camera 2 is pre-hung, the front-back direction can be limited through the rotation shaft slot 113, so as to avoid the array camera 2 from sliding out of the mounting guide slot 112 and falling.

[0040] Further, the thickness of the mounting guide slot 112 can be smaller than the thickness of the side wall of the support 1, that is, the mounting guide slot 112 is not a through hole structure, so as to avoid that the opening being too large affects the support strength of the first support connecting part 11.

[0041] Further, the rotation shaft slot 113 is a through hole structure, the end face of the rotation shaft 2211 is provided with a connecting hole, and the first connecting assembly 22 further includes a knob 224 with a connecting arm, the connecting arm of the knob 224 passes through the rotation shaft slot 113 from the outside of the side wall of the support 1 and is connected and locked with the connecting hole of the rotation shaft 2211. Thus, when the array camera 2 is pre-hung, the left-right direction can be limited through the knob, so as to strengthen the stability of the pre-hanging.

[0042] The gimbal camera 3 includes a shell and a lens assembly, and the lens assembly can generally adjust the focal length and be horizontally and vertically rotatable. The gimbal camera 3 can be improved on the basis of the existing ball camera structure, and a second connecting part 31 is arranged on the upper part of the shell, which can be connected with the second support connecting part 12 of the support 1, so as to hang the gimbal camera 3 below the support 1.

[0043] The second connecting part 31 can be a flange structure, the flange structure is provided with a mounting hole at the flange, and the second support connecting part 12 can be correspondingly provided with a mounting hole, and the second connecting part 31 and the second support connecting part 12 are fastened and connected through a fastener such as a screw passing through the mounting hole.

[0044] Further, one side of the flange structure facing the second support connecting part 12 is provided with a mounting column 311, the end of the mounting column 311 is provided with a radially protruding hanging table 3111, the second support connecting part 12 is provided with a pre-mounting hole 121 with a limiting step, and the hanging table 3111 can be hung on the limiting step of the pre-mounting hole 121. Specifically, the mounting column 311 can be a cylindrical structure, the bottom of the cylindrical structure is connected with the body of the flange structure, a groove is arranged in the circumferential direction of the middle part (between the end and the bottom) of the cylindrical structure, so that the outer diameter of the end is greater than the outer diameter of the middle part, so as to form the hanging table 3111 at the end. Thus, before the fastener at the mounting hole of the flange structure is formally fastened to install the gimbal camera 3, the gimbal camera 3 can be pre-hung through the hanging table 3111, and the falling of the hanging table is limited through the limiting step.

[0045] Further, the pre-installation hole 121 includes a head part 1211, a communication part 1212 and a tail part 1213, the tail part 1211 is a stepped hole with a limiting step, the limiting step is a sunken step, that is, the outer circle inner diameter of the stepped hole is larger than the inner circle inner diameter. The hole diameter of the head part 1211 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the mounting column 311 (such as the outer diameter of the hanging table 3111), the width of the communication part 1212 is larger than the outer diameter of the middle part of the mounting column 311 and smaller than the outer diameter of the hanging table 3111, the outer circle inner diameter of the tail part 1213 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the hanging table 3111, and the inner circle inner diameter of the tail part 1213 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the middle part of the mounting column 311 and smaller than the outer diameter of the hanging table 3111, so that the mounting column 311 can pass through the head part 1211 of the pre-installation hole 121 and can slide along the communication part 1212 to the tail part 1213, so that the hanging table 3111 is hung on the limiting step of the tail part 1213, the limiting step limits the forward and backward movement of the mounting column 311, avoids the mounting column 311 from sliding out of the communication part 1212 to the head part 1211 and falling due to shaking during the installation process, and improves the stability of the installation. It should be noted that the pre-installation hole 121 with a limiting step can be directly formed in the lower wall of the bracket 1, or the pre-installation hole 121 can be formed in a separate pre-installation plate, and a corresponding long hole (without a limiting step) can be formed in the lower wall of the bracket 1, and then the pre-installation plate is fixed to the inner side of the lower wall. Thus, the pre-installation hole 121 with a limiting step can be machined on a small and delicate pre-installation plate, reducing the machining difficulty.

[0046] The bracket mounting part 13 can include a plurality of hoop mounting holes 131 provided on the rear wall of the bracket 1, which can allow a hoop (such as a U-shaped hoop) to pass through to mount the bracket 1 on a camera mounting position on a stand column. The bracket mounting part 13 can also include a plurality of mounting holes provided on the upper wall of the bracket 1 to hoist the bracket 1 on an external camera mounting position through the mounting holes of the upper wall.
